CONTACT INFORMATION

ONLINE COURSES :NYSID offers a number of online courses. Our distance learning offerings are flexible and convenient, and were designed for the working professional or busy student who cannot attend classes on our NYC campus.

NYSID instructors teach every course and the curriculum and learning goals are the same as the onsite courses, but reformatted to encourage participation and connection. Each course is asynchronous, meaning that you do not have to log in at a set time. Instead, students watch recorded lectures and demonstrations, participate in the discussions, access handouts and assignments, and

communicate with the instructor and fellow students. Courses do follow the semester schedule and require weekly log in and assignments. Any academic credits earned online will directly apply to your degree program.

Students matriculated in the onsite Basic Interior Design program (with the exception of international students) may take up to 9 credits in the online format; students matriculated in the online Basic Interior Design may take up to 9 credits in onsite courses. Any academic credits earned online will directly apply to future degree programs.

COURSE & CREDIT LISTINGThe following is a complete list of spring 2016 courses for credit (at the time of publication). The number of credits for each course is listed in parentheses after the course title.

*All electives are in italics.

All courses are subject to a minimum enrollment per class. NYSID reserves the right to cancel any course or program, alter time schedules, or substitute faculty.

works in museums like the Uffizi and Bargello, and examine both

fine and mundane objects in historic churches, dwellings, and

public buildings.

The instructor for the course is Maria Chamberlin-Hellman.
